Denim jackets have always been my go-to for layering over dresses. But recently…I’ve been wearing them with jeans. I actually accidentally discovered that I like this combo when I was visiting Shana last month. We had one of those cold-but-not-too-cold spring days…you know, the kind that require a lighter jacket…but all I’d brought was a puffer. (It’s still winter in Michigan. Boo.) I used to be afraid of denim-on-denim (and I obviously can’t pass up this perfect opportunity to revisit this amazing photo), but right now it feels like a fresh combination for spring. I mixed up the washes, added a bright top to break it up, and finished with red lips . . . because everything is better with red lips.
Denim Jacket + Distressed Jeans + Bright Top


Outfit Details
jeans: American Eagle Curvy Jeans – YAS!! These jeans fit over a curvier booty but won’t gap at the waist. They run slightly bigger due to the high rise — I’m normally a 28, but 27 (short) fit in these. They also come in FIVE lengths for the perfect fit.
jacket: Lightweight Denim Jacket (xs, for reference) – I’ve been wearing this jacket on repeat since I got it. It has just the right amount of distressing and is that perfectly oversized fit. On sale!
t-shirt: Graphic T (similar) – I think I need to get this one and wear it around Shana.
sneakers: Sneakers (similar) – These come in four colors and have a functional zipper, which makes them easy to slip on and off.
top: Thermal Sweater (40% off right now!) – I love this lightweight sweater . . . it’s perfect for spring. I’ll wear it as a cover up with denim shorts this summer too.
sunnies: Warby Parker Harris Sunglasses – Prescription sunnies are SUCH a good investment. AND Warby Parker donates a pair to someone in need with every pair purchased!
lips: NARS Velvet Lip Glide in Mineshaft – A hybrid lip formula that’s like a gloss and a lipstick. It’s easy to apply, comfortable to wear and comes in lots of bright fun colors.

Scotti, those jeans were made for you. You look great! Love your style.
The pic with Shana baby wearing is inspiring me to make a very specific request: can y’all do something on Ergo (or other baby carrier) style? The straps hit in weird places, everything ends up wrinkly, everyone ends up sweaty. I love carrying my baby but I always default to the same gross sweatshirt because of the aforementioned problems. If I go somewhere and take him/it off, I look like a literal hot mess. Scotti — or others of you who remember this phase — what to do?!?
Looking amazing as always! What size are you wearing in the yellow sweater? It is such a happy colour!
I’m copying this look. So fresh! I love the light denim with red lip with yellow sweater…perfect! You are a breath of fresh spring air.
Where can I buy those amazing hoop earrings? I love delicate but big!
Scotti, I love this outfit but my favorite part of this post is Shana carrying the baby. <3
Love it.
